It sure seems like most tech jobs would only need therapy as a means of last resort. Keeping a mindful eye towards burnout and adjusting your response to it based on the type seems like solid advice. I see it as: 1. The complainer: sit down

This approach to discussing inheritance treats JavaScript as if you're a Java or C++ programmer, and completely lacks any clarity with how inheritance in JavaScript really works. Best intro I've read on the topic I'm talking

A few different police departments in California are trying out camera systems. I've only heard about Rialto, but I know they're being tried out in the Bay Area, and I think wider Los Angeles. http://www.theguardian.com

This sort of "git pull" slam is really just an aftershock of shooting yourself in the foot. The UX of git is so different from other tools, but seems so similar. It's a real problem for newbies. It's easy to think you kn

I wonder if people will be happier or more frustrated with the lottery setup. And... I wonder if such a lottery system would help take on general ticket scalping. (I could see a lottery mechanism doing some kind of 'real person' v

edit: I could see this being just a good general approach to development. Like a concrete how-to on doing continuous delivery from day one. I've even started using grunt with a C++ project I'm working on, and if I make sure that f

The effect is just reminiscent of a very simple FM synth; you start with a sine wave and add another waveform whose cycle starts below the audible spectrum. Start cranking it up, and you don't hear any "pulse" it just takes o

I love this idea. I think this is a fantastic opportunity for us plebs to start speculating. It would be very nice to see if the crowd has a different kind of investment trend from the accredited investors. Edit: Mostly, I'm curious if

Right, it's a little disappointing that the blog of a fairly well-known economist just uses some basic anecdotal evidence. I'd hope he'd provide some kind of deeper insight, but I guess that's what passes for quality on

The RequireJS plugin system is really useful. Alex Sexton's handlebars plugin is a great example of what sets this apart: https://github.com/SlexAxton/require-handlebars-plugin - The javaScript code only sees the

Right, the group I'm in often will have "coordinating members" join as well, from designers, QA, the PM, even the VP will stop by to see whats going on, and sometimes we get 10-15 people. The only times it takes more than 10 minutes are whe

Right, the problem is just that "unread counts" aren't that nice of a feature for RSS feeds, because not all posts are created equal. (Hell, it's not even that nice of a feature on email, unless you do a lot of filtering.) I like the volu

What's interesting to me here is that I don't see anything but the "Android" brand being mentioned. Several people on this thread mention having several Android phones, but not several "Samsung" phones, for example. This, despite the fact t

TL;DR Gruber says "open vs closed" isn't really useful for determining commercial success. I agree, however, Gruber's writing doesn't make it really obvious that he's slamming someone for confusing making money vs, say adoption of a technol

Right: we "rescued" a lab who has been great, but had a lot of anxiety built up over being simply being left alone. People coming by the door eventually led to him destroying the front entryway. The result: we started anxiety training, whic

It seems like this "diametric incompatability" could be a good subject for case study blog articles. Off the top of my head is the shifting of "sponsored links" to take over the initial position in some Google search results. It seems like

Has anyone actually encountered an issue with version 2 that would really piss them off that it's not fixed? I rarely encounter problems, and when I do, a quick restart get's everything back to normal. I find myself doing this far less than

I tend to think of "coolness" as a kind of reason behind early adoption, more like "this thing as a large opportunity for catching on". I'm not 100% sure would make the argument that "Rob Pike and Ken Thompson made it". Instead, I'd say "it

My sense is that Yahoo is about to start doing some reorganization. - There might be some trial and error runs of different managers (ergo, a period of quick reorganization) - Leadership might want to simply make their mark on the organizat

Right. I get more of the sense that Google is more "impressive" than "cool". If I were to use "Google's got it in production" I might be told something like "well they can pull this off" as if they have some unattainable smarts or something

Yes, but at what point does go transition from obscurity to PG's "python paradox"? http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html It sure seems Scala's in this "python paradox" land now. My guess is that you need some startups make it big using Go

Using syncing as a developer makes sense to me because syncing or backup is not versioning. Versioning (using git) is about marking state at a period of time. Such that, in the future, you can go back to that important state, and that state

A practical step might be for tool-authors to always ensure their tools are obviously customizable for a variety of initialization needs. Very few IDEs have made it easy to distribute and maintain custom components. Companies that I've seen

Something tells me, that even with a loss in court, it was worth having a few years of iPhone sales as the "iPhone". It'll probably eventually be called the "Apple Phone"; but people will still call it iPhone.

Better social nets probably would create much higher wages as employees think "screw this I'm gonna at least try it on my own", so companies have to up the ante. But I don't see more entrepreneurs turning into economic growth. That takes a

Yes. It seems like you could reuse a lot of work from your web application with something like WebOS. ("It seems" == totally unfounded guesswork). iOS development seems like more of a temporary stopgap to the eventual rise a great standardi

Yeah, I do believe this is one of those cases that might be hard to do right and keep the UI simple, to implement easily. That won't stop me from requesting it. :) Good luck!

Are there any thoughts for including bike routes or that ilk? I live in the east bay (Berkeley, CA), and when I go to San Francisco, I often want to see what it might be to take BART + finish on a bike. This is opposed to finding a place to

My main observation from managing a small group was that you could easily correlate the developer's skill to the feedback they gave in code review. The ones that illuminated possible bugs or ambiguities clearly stood apart from those that m
